Just bought a 1984 GSL.

Needs some work, hopefully i will have it running by spring.

Was thinking about adding a widebody, but now have decided to keep it completely stock.

Couple mods i am planning:
- glass moon roof
- whale tail
- chrome rims
- stainless steel exhaust
- tint
- maybe projector lights (cpracing ones)
-Bolt conversion.

Nothing too extreme. Will keep stock radio and use an RF modulator to play my mp3's over an fm channel.

Will have before and after pics soon.

Enjoy the ride bro!

just use the RB complete exhaust it will perform better than anything you can make it may not be as pretty as stainless but it will last just as long.

did you get the one for $500 that has the vacum issues, and needs the rad hoses? i was seriously considering that car at $800...seems like a good deal. looks clean, and low kms too.

if you're doing the 114.3 bolt conversion, maybe you wanna consider my tenzo c type wheels....unless you don't wanna go 17"...let me know dude

good luck with the car. is it your first fb? you seem to be more of an fc guy

soulja77 01-18-05 01:06 PM

yeah nick, thats the one. I want to do the 4x110 to 4x100 conversion.

Did you pick up your car yet?

Done with fc's for now, definitely a cop magnet.

nick1 01-18-05 01:10 PM

i haven't picked it up yet. i have to get rid of at least one of my crx's to make room.

i am also interested in doing the 4x100 swap. i never even thought about swapping to 4x100 as an option. only 4x114.3. (my car is also gsl). there seems to be alot more wheels available with the 4x100 (hondas are everywhere). also, my tenzo wheels which i still may use not only have the 114.3, but also the 4x100, im leaning towards doing the 4x100

let me know what you find. the cheapest i've seen so far for spacers is $140 from ebay.

keep in touch dude.

Actually, the racing beat exhaust should last much longer, because it is designed to handle the extreme exhaust heat that a rotary engine produces. Plus, it's going to sound way better than any stainless exhaust you can find.

hey nick, 140 is pretty good? is that for all 4? maybe we can buy our set together and save on shipping.

nick1 01-18-05 05:07 PM

yeah...sounds like a good idea. i'll keep my eyes open. are you in a rush? cuz im not...

man, buy my wheels!!! they're sweet! i wanna downgrade to 13, 15" tops

soulja77 01-18-05 05:16 PM

no, not in a rush at all. Need to get the car started first.

So where are the photos soulja?

soulja77 01-18-05 05:38 PM

car comes home on monday. It is similar to the one in your avatar minus the airdam. Its stock.

Engine bay is ugly as hell, but heck its only january :)

nigel20b 01-18-05 07:54 PM

bro i was suppose to buy that car from Pablo this week......hope you enjoy a good car i started it up but the engine smokes ah bit but that is minor .I got a nice set of RB header for you .....i was gonna put it on that car and a glass roof as well.If you think about selling link me

soulja77 01-18-05 09:23 PM

nah, going to keep this car and get it running by summer. It is definitely a 'conversation piece' to say the least.

Right now my concern is to get the car running and cleaned up, as you know the engine bay is quite a mess. And i am sure there will be other problems.
